Description

If your pooch is in the mood for a mellow walk overlooking
the Pacific Ocean, then the Bluff Top Trail is the perfect spot. Located in the
coastal city of Palos Verdes Estates, this trail will put pep in your pup’s
step as they trot along listening to the crashing waves.

This trail is one of many that showcase the beauty of the
Palos Verdes Peninsula. As you may have guessed from the name, it meanders
along the top of a rocky bluff that drops down into the ocean. A variety of
shrubs line the pathway, but you won’t find many trees. This is good, as you don’t
want anything blocking the puptacular ocean views. The trail runs near a
neighborhood of luxury homes and estates, but it’s far enough away that you and
your doggo can enjoy a peaceful walk. When the skies are clear, views of the
distant Santa Monica Mountains can be seen. Your pal will love getting exercise
while soaking in the vistas of Bluff Cove and the rugged coastline. For an extra pawsome experience, hit this
trail in the evening and enjoy a famous West Coast sunset.

A small public parking lot is located near the north end
of the trail. You can hike this as an
out and back trail. Or if your doggo has extra energy to burn, use the
residential streets to connect to one of the nearby trails. Although this walk
isn’t very long, bring water for your furry friend. There’s not much shade on
the trail, so they’ll need a refreshing drink after their workout. Also, carry
some clean up bags and do your part to keep the trail tidy. The salty sea
breeze, furrific ocean views, and warm SoCal sunshine all combine to make this
trail one your pooch will pawstively adore!
